The traditional engineering design process involves the non-experts requesting simulation analysis, and the experts manually working to deliver those results. While simulation is vital for high-performance product design, the steep learning curve and technical barriers often prevent a wider audience of engineers from leveraging these insights. However, the increasing demand for rapid design evaluation is pushing to find ways to empower more team members to run simulations without sacrificing accuracy or consistency.

In this episode of DE Leadership Profile, a sponsored podcast series, Marco Turchetto, VOLTA Product Manager, explains how the Runbox (VOLTA web app) is transforming the digital engineering landscape. By leveraging VOLTA APIs, method developers can now encapsulate complex CAE expert knowledge into user-friendly, specialized web applications. This allows non-simulation experts to perform design exploration and optimization studies directly within the VOLTA digital engineering platform.

“In this way, we can capture and automate expert processes into web apps, enabling seamless execution of design studies,” Turchetto noted. “This democratized approach allows engineers to perform design evaluations without requiring expert-level simulation experience, ultimately accelerating the overall innovation cycle.”
